ZEITGEIST-DATAHUB(1)

✨ ZEITGEIST-DATAHUB ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the zeitgeist-datahub manual page β€” that's the one from the General Commands Manual, and yes it's giving very "I run in the background and you never notice me" energy πŸ’…


🌸 NAME 🌸

zeitgeist-datahub β€” passive loggers for Zeitgeist. that's it, that's the whole name section, but honestly? iconic 🫢


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

zeitgeist-datahub [OPTION]

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

so zeitgeist-datahub is a daemon β€” a little background bestie that never sleeps 😭 β€” and what it does is it centralizes all passive data sources into a single process. instead of having a whole chaotic group chat of tiny processes, everything gets folded into one. slay.

then it acts as the interface between those data sources and zeitgeist-daemon, and it talks to zeitgeist-daemon over D-Bus. yes, D-Bus. that's the transport. that's the vibe. 🚌✨

now let's define our terms because i know you're wondering:

  • Passive data sources β€” these are the ones that run in the background and go looking for activities independently of the programs they monitor. they're the lurker friends who just quietly observe. πŸ‘€
  • Active data sources β€” Zeitgeist can also work with these! they're the ones built into other applications, either natively or through extensions. those apps show up and participate directly. main character energy. πŸ‘‘

and both of these things can be called loggers, iykyk.


πŸ’… OPTIONS πŸ’…

the program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with options starting with two dashes (--). a summary of options is included below.

bestie. i have to be so fr fr with you right now.
  • Currently there are no options available.

not me writing a whole OPTIONS section for zero options 😭 it's giving "menu with one item and the item is nothing". but like, respect the structure. periodt. πŸŽ€
